Hi Patrick, do you mean they grade too harshly? Back when there was only BGS, the big knock on them was that they would grade vintage with the same strict guidelines as they grade modern cards. Thus BVG which is a little easier on them as they take into account the printing procedures involved in the making of the cards at the time.

I've cracked as many BVG holders as I have SGC and PSA and have found Beckett to do a fine job in grading their cards. Though most have been in the 1 thru 4 range, so I can't comment on high grade vintage.

Just my opinion
